How to do art in times of war, destruction, violence, anger, hate, resentment? What kind of art should be done in moments of darkness and desperation? Can art be a tool for understanding history’s changes? Can a work of art draw alternative forms of understanding the world? How to continue working - as an artist - and in doing so, avoid falling into the traps of facts, journalism, and comments? I want to ask myself these questions and above all, I want to create, with my work, a surface of reflection. I don’t pretend to resolve or offer solutions, but I want my work Fake it, Fake it - till you Fake it. to contribute to this problematic, as a form cutting a break-through in the analog into the digital.

White Cube New York

Shifting the ideology of art from visually based to metronomic, the exhibition explores the darker resonating tones that articulate how sound holds pain and suffering, joy and temporality, memory and contingency. Created in response to the space, a large-scale sculptural work, titled Sweet Sanctuary, Your Embrace, will highlight Gates’s personal connections with Black music and mental health.

Michele Oka Doner’s artistic production spans over six decades, encompassing sculpture, public art, drawings, prints, artist books, and functional objects, all of which incorporate a wide variety of media, including bronze, silver, gold, terrazzo, porcelain, and handmade paper, among other materials. Often referred to as “nature’s scribe,” Oka Doner derives her formal vocabulary from her lifelong study and appreciation of the animal and botanical forms that comprise our natural world, as well as a sustained poetic exploration of the human figure. Whether they resemble bark, tree roots, microscopic molecules, or something human or animal, Oka Doner’s multimedia projects are rendered in a variety of scales that mirror and transcend the world around her. Ranging from the small and intimate to the large and magnificent, Oka Doner’s highly-intuitive works steadfastly seek to both evoke natural forms and pay homage to the environment—in particular, that of Miami, Florida, where the artist was born—while poignantly reminding us of our increasingly precarious ecosystem.

In his practice, Aloisio employs various analog media, including projectors, film, CB radios, and receipt printers, among other alternative technologies, attempting to temper the immediacy of our hyper-digital, image-saturated world. He engages viewers “as participants in a complex performance of display, time, and legibility.” Predominantly working with photography, video, and sound, Aloisio attempts to present seemingly transgressive narratives that explore undercurrents of anticipation and longing, while also investigating the nuances of queer navigation across intergenerational communities.

Cristin Tierney Gallery

Leaving Earth is a multi-channel video and sound installation inspired by excerpts from the final journal of Lucier’s late husband, the painter Robert Berlind. In this journal, Berlind fearlessly documented his thoughts on his impending death from a terminal illness. His writings reflect his appreciation of life with a remarkable lack of anxiety about the inevitable end—more curiosity than dread.

Hauser & Wirth

The exhibition features approximately 30 new works and marks Sherman’s return to the historic SoHo district where, in the late 1970s, she debuted her now iconic Untitled Film Stills at the non-profit Artists Space, launching a career that has established her as one of the most recognized and influential artists of our time. Sherman’s ground-breaking work has probed themes of representation and identity in contemporary media for over four decades. Since the early 2000s, she has constructed personae using digital manipulation, meditating on the increasingly fractured sense of self in 21st century society and continuing an artistic exploration that has uniquely encapsulated her oeuvre since the outset of her career.

Natural and mythological figures appear on some of the nets: a shrimp; an eye representing Chalchiuhtlicue, an Aztec goddess associated with fresh water, childbirth, and sensuality; and the Aztec glyph atl, which, for Caycedo, “stands for a dignified rage, which inspires a lot of us who share dreams for change.” Histories of craft, resistance, and environmental activism converge in these delicate monuments to modes of living that exist in close relation to nature.

Known for his multidisciplinary, activist-minded practice and collaborative approach to art making, Kaino has explored a wide range of political, social, and environmental issues in his work across mediums. In his paintings, sculptures, installations, performances, films, and monumental public works, the artist examines the roles that empathy and subjectivity can play in dismantling oppressive power structures and effecting real change.

There is a particular form of sensory consciousness present in Kathia St. Hilaire’s work that demands focused attention because she embeds it with personal, historical, and sociopolitical experience. Her marvelous content offers an artistic language and world-making process that is complicated and richly imbued with visions that not only express a wide range of human emotions but are essentially and autonomously framed by her conceptual representations of the world of her ancestors, primarily those deriving from Haiti. Her artistic evolution is marked by a distinctive fusion of cultural influences and a profound exploration of identity, humanism, and social justice.

Since the 1970s, when he was a student at the California Institute of the Arts, Welling has become known for a relentlessly evolving body of images that considers both the history and technical specificities of photography. His work signaled a break with traditional ideas of photography by shifting attention to the construction of images themselves.

The exhibition features a group of large paintings that Marden made in his studio in Tivoli, New York, in 2023, along with sixteen recent drawings that he made on the Caribbean island of Nevis and in Marrakech, Morocco. The paintings are characterized by weblike linear networks that cover variously colored grounds, and the group has a raw, spontaneous look, showing Marden drawing on intuition honed over a lifetime. These final works convey his idea of letting the paintings “make” us.

Painted wet-on-wet, Schutz’s tragicomic situations are populated by characters preoccupied with self-preservation as they tilt towards oblivion. With mask-like features—all jaws and noses—they emerge, in groups and pairs, out of the painterly atmosphere. The depicted subjects are volumetric and malleable, like drifting clouds. Their organic forms are echoed in the gestural sculpture also present in this exhibition.

Monumentally scaled to the gallery’s main location at 534 West 21st Street, the works each measure between thirteen and fifteen feet wide and are comprised of modular painted panels and large open areas of wall. Novros is known for his meticulous attention to the materiality of color, and his newest paintings radiate with exceedingly vibrant and deep complementary hues. The exhibition will be accompanied by an illustrated catalogue with an essay by Ann Lauterbach.

Douglas Melini takes a radical alternative to the blank canvas, making works that are part painting, part sculpture, and part something else altogether. The linen, oil, and acrylic-stained reclaimed wood creations shatter the hierarchy of artwork and its frame; the wood elements of Melini’s paintings are not merely supplementary, but rather integral to the composition itself.

The Reconciliation of Opposites explores Othoniel’s longstanding interests in the potent symbolism of flowers, as well as materiality, focused specifically on the dual strength and fragility of glass. Across two floors of Perrotin New York, the artist presents works that range from intimate to monumental – lustrous flower paintings on white gold leaf decorate the third floor, while the second floor boasts pieces from his radiant glass brick series, Precious Stonewall and Wonder Block.
